Villa Mathis: "Best luxury hotel i ever experienced"

"I travel a lot to thousands of destinations but this one is absolutely incredible. I never had a feeling like i am in paradise the music , the food , the atmosphere everything is perfect I recommend to everyone to go there you will not be disappointed If i could put a 10 star i definitely would"

Maisons Wat Kor: "Beautiful hidden gem – perfect for a relaxing getaway"

Sadly we only stayed for one night, it is the perfect place to relax especially since it is a little out of town. The Cambodian style villas are cozy with a good range of amenities (just wish they provided some shampoo and shower gel in the bathrooms), the pool and pond areas are lovely with all the tropical plants and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the morning sitting on the deck overlooking the lotus flower pond and the afternoon swimming in the pool (surprisingly the water was cool despite the heat). The food in the restaurant was fresh and delicious. The server went out of his way to cut us fresh coconuts from the tree. Definitely a place to return to for another weekend getaway.

Supanniga Eating Room: "Great food with a unique dish"

Ate with a group of work colleagues and was Super impressed. There is deep fried catfish which comes out like popcorn. To die for. Also all the usual great Thai dishes. Well worth it for great local food

Inle Princess Resort: "Paradise on Water"

"I spent in family one of our best New Year eve's celebrations at Princess Inle. Rooms are gorgeous, really luxurious with all amenities and on built on pillars. Breakfast is varied, generous and fresh. The bar is cosy and romantic. Motorboats are even asked to mute their engine a 100 meters before reaching the dock, so guests are not annoyed by the noise. Guests are truly at the center of management's attention."

Yandabo Home: "Delightful stopover"

After an exhausting (but fun!) day, beset by unforeseen delays, we arrived at this fabulous hotel. We were met the wonderful Burmese greeting and immediately felt relaxed and at home. Late as we were, the staff were happy to take us on a fascinating tour of the pottery village, before serving a fabulous dinner on the deck. I was sorry we had only planned one night on our way from Bagan to Mandalay. I could have luxuriated in the superb hospitality and perfectly appointed rooms for one more day.

Mie Cafe: "Chef’s recommendation"

We ended up trying this restaurant from the recommendation of the head chef of Lecuisine Wat Damnak (another review), and we loved it. Cozy fine dining restaurant, where we ended up trying some of the a la carte dishes instead of the degustation menu. Really enjoyed the food (new Khmer dishes) and atmosphere, and even despite a heavy rainstorm, which caused a semi-flood in the outdoor seating area. Made it extra cozy.

Tugu Lombok: "Magical, Quirky and Friendly"

"I stayed at Hotel Tugu Lombok with my two sons in one of the Ampenen Villas. I had dined here in the past which had 'wetted' my appetite to stay and explore the resort more as it had looked so interesting and unique. I certainly wasn't disappointed. From arrival in the reconstructed Rumah Ampenan (19th century Chinese traders house), to the Bale Kokok Pletok (open air dining area), Lara Djonggrang Bar and temple inspired Spa, the whole place is full of interesting stories, mystique and quirkiness which give it a vibe like no other place I've stayed before and definitely set it apart from other larger resorts and ""chain"" hotels. Our villa was spacious even with three beds in it, refreshingly cool and spotlessly clean. We had so many welcome flowers and a personal note, which just endeared the place to us even more. Every day we were surprised with a new pet (of the towling variety, thanks to Jaelani one of the super friendly staff). While I appreciate it was low season, there were not many guests and so we felt like we were getting extra special attention - all the staff knew our names, which made you feel instantly safe and comfortable. We were also given a personal guided tour of the complex by Ellie, which as specified, was filled with stories and tales of Ancient Lombok, Temples, Princesses, Gods and immortal beings - facinating to understand the inspiration for the environment which we were enjoying. As there are not many dining options close to Hotel Tugu (a couple of very basic local warungs about 1km away), we ended up dining at the hotel for all meals, which did add up a bit (especially with the ++), but the quality of the food was superb with a wide choice of local and western foods, all of which tasted delicious. Even with taxes, the food was still good value compared to what we would normally pay in Australia for the same quality. We were at the hotel for three nights and dined in three different locations - the Bale Kokok Pletok, the Gedong Gandrung (hall of love - with my two sons!!) and the beach - all fantastic experiences. I would recommend doing a bike ride around the local area on the hotel's bikes (we did ours late afternoon to avoid the heat). Jaelani offered to escort us which was helpful and informative. Another worthwhile thing to do is get up early and stroll along the beach to enjoy the sunrise over Rinjani, the myriad of sea life exposed at low tide and the fishermen heading off for the day. We also used the hotel's kayaks to paddle around and over the bay (looking at amazing sea life below, including turtles) and stand up paddle boards - perfect for use on the clear blue, calm waters of the Sire peninsula. I dont think there's any doubt that I will come back to this magical place again - there is nothing I could fault and much to recommend. Room Tip: We were given a tour of several villas - they all looked wonderful."

Villa Song Saigon: "Great riverside hotel in Ho Chi Minh city"

"Highly attentive and professional staff. Really great setting next to the river where you can watch the fascinating array of boats go past. Really great room and a nice pool to chill by when not out sightseeing. Breakfasts are great too. Stayed November 2016, traveled with family"

Maison Polanka: "Serenity Now!"

A beautiful setting with and Exceptionally attentive Staff. Excellent Food cooked to order from a small, but skilled Kitchen. Room & Shower were very nice. The rabbit likes Bananas. The grounds are lovely and the pool is perfect.

Rachamankha: "Amazing hotel retreat right inside four walls of Chang mai"

This hotel is centrally located in Chang Mai and is perfect for couples looking to escape and relax after long days of exploring. The hotel has the bones and charm of being built in the 14th century with all the modern conveniences. When we come back there is no doubt where we will stay.
